Get AD Data via Sequel

Hello!
Sorry if duplicate question:
Is there a way to get data from the AD via the sequel?
I would want things like 'name' and 'email' and 'phone'.
Off the topic of the fourm but: If not through sequel, how do I set up a
database connection to the AD directly for reporting purposes?
Thank you very much.

You need to create a linkedserver definition for AD.
See:

Note: However ADSI might is probably easier and more functional.
